What do I think is killing the music industry?
Crappy music
and
the MAFIAA treating some of thier best customers like criminals.
I don’t buy music from big labels because I feel like I’m giving money to Halliburton, Enron, or the Government.
I would much rather buy from a small label, or from the band themselves at a show.
here is an example.
Once I went to see a band I really like at a bar. It was a smaller show, close to 100 people. After the show, I wanted to buy a shirt and cd, the band was also taking donations because some stuff has went bad on thier tour van. I didn’t have enough for both a shirt and a cd (10+12), so I asked if they could cut me a deal. They told me they only made $3 or so profit on each cd so they couldn’t. I ended up giving them 20, just for the shirt, and told them I’d just download the album. (illegally, for free) The band members thought that was a great idea.
so you see it’s about the principal of the thing. I don’t trust big labels. I think they’re excessive and selfish and just plain mean
think of me as the peter pan of the music industry
